A review by cyndibecker
Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner

5.0

I am about 7 months overdue with writing this review. But that's okay because this is amongst a small group of reads that have stayed with me. While reading and certainly at the end, I wondered what Jennifer Weiner would be able to do next, because this was the pinnacle of her writing career.

This story is so stunning! The sisters Kaufman, Jo and Bethie, go through so much in the young lives. As we follow them through their teens, their twenties and beyond, as they experience grief, the joy at falling in love, heartbreak at betrayal and falling out of love, and they come full circle - back to each other. Finding strength in their bond.

Its a thoroughly engrossing read and I was so invested in these characters. As much as I wanted to race through it, to not put it down, I read this slowly and with contemplation. This was named 2019 best of books, and it belongs there and as an example of the power of a book. As a woman, I felt changed by this story and equally excited to read Ms. Weiner's next book. It's a rare 6 star and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!
